No it wasn't if you really take into consideration all the facts ESPN has laid out Eric Decker was the 10th 0r 11th option in Denver's offense.

You do know that there are only 11 men on each side of the ball, so either the ineligible linemen were all better receiving options, or you as can't count very well...either way you know nothing about football.

Decker is definitely not a burner, but he has decent speed for his size. He has caught quite a number of deep passes in his 4 year career where he got behind the CB (not LB). Receiving in the NFL is not all about straight line speed measured on a track in no pads. Decker is a good route runner who can create separation consistently. The tape doesn't lie.

We had three burners last season: Stephen Hill, Clyde Gates, and Saalim Hakim. Given how much emphasis some people are putting on speed, we should've had the most explosive offense around last season.

Decker's got the height, quickness, hands, and other intangibles that I'll take any day over a speedster.

Tackle eligible....get with the program. How he brought down 87 balls for almost 1300 yards I have no clue. I better go check the receiving stats for their LT.

people who argue this signing just dont understand football unfortunately. You need guys to run routes and catch the ball, they dont have to be number 1's or number 2's you just need guys. he is a guy. could you have gotten a younger, healthier, better skilled guy for less? NO are you hampered by his salary? no. are you still going to draft another guy in hopes of developing a true game changer? yes...

its that simple, if he comes in, gets open and catches whats thrown to him he would have paid off in spades.
